Alison Somoza, PT, DPT

Growing up, Alison led an active lifestyle - playing basketball from kindergarten through high school. She found that a career in physical therapy was the perfect way to combine her interests in human movement and helping others achieve their optimal functional health goals. After completing her Undergraduate Degree in Kinesiology at USC in California, Alison transitioned to the east coast where she obtained a Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the MGH Institute of Health Professions. Her training and early career took her throughout the east coast, but ultimately, Alison decided to move back to the west coast to be closer to family which led her to Las Vegas. During her graduate training, Alison developed an interest in orthopedics, concussion, vestibular, and vertigo and has received certification in dry needling. Alison looks forward to seeing how she can work together with patients throughout Las Vegas to meet their health and wellness goals.
